Support for Ben Franklin's world comes from the

Omaha Institute of Early American History and Culture,

proud citizens of vast early America

and the primary partners in the Georgian Papers Program.

The Georgian Papers Program aims to digitize, interpret, and make available an extraordinarily

rich collection of correspondence, maps, and royal household ledgers created by the Georgian

Kings of England and their families.

This program is really big,

because it seeks to make available

it's approximately 350,000 items to the world.

Digital access to this collection. Promises to really change our understanding. the Now as part of its contribution to this program,

the Omaha Institute is sending scholars to Windsor Castle,

where they work alongside rail archivists

as they seek to gain greater insight into these rich materials.

Now, when asked about her experiences working with royal

archivists Cynthia Kirner who's a professor of history at George Mason University

responded that the Georgian papers gave her a deeper understanding of the Georgian era.

She noted how letters exchange between King George III and Lord North, for instance,

conveyed a real sense of just how deeply involved George III was in the daily work of his government, and at how much George III was in the daily work of his government,

and at how much George a third truly believed in the sovereignty of Parliament.

Soon, you'll be able to look at these letters between George a third and Lord North too, because thanks to the support of the

Omaha Institute, they'll be digitized for all to see and use.
